Industrial-Strength Power and Signal Connector Series Qualified for use in Hazardous Zone Interconnect Applications

Designed for safe operation in petrochemical refineries, oil & gas drilling platforms, and other explosion zone applications, the Glenair ITS-Ex series connector is optimized for life-of-system durability and reliability. Qualified by the globally-recognized IEC and IECEx standards bodies, the connector series is suitable for use in application areas where flammable gases and vapors are present as a normal condition of operation (group IIC) and with temperature classes T6 and T5, zones 1 and 2; and for applications where potentially flammable dust is present as a normal condition of operation (group IIIC) and with temperature classes T80°C and T95°C in zone 21 and 22.

Series ITS-Ex is designed for easy and repeatable termination of armored and unarmored cables built to IEEE 45, IEC, BS, DIN, and JIC standards. A full range of power and signal contacts, from size #16 to size #0 in over 40 insert arrangements are available to address all common voltage, wire size and connector service class ratings.

Special Ex design attributes of the series include an integral labyrinth flame path cooling zone, 2-part epoxy potting well, fixed in-line receptacles for attachment of cables to cable management brackets and trays, set screw (grub screw) secured protective safety covers, and durable life-of-system Ex marking labels.
